BIAPA Welcomes Penn State Rehabilitation Hospital as Brain Injury Ambassador Partner

BIAPA is pleased welcome Penn State Rehabilitation Hospital in Hershey to the Brain Injury Ambassador Program! We are glad to be able to offer the services of our trained volunteer ambassadors to brain injury patients and families in these facilities. Our ambassador volunteers, who all have lived experience with brain injury, offer an important personalized connection for families and serve as a bridge to brain injury resources and programs. Ambassadors connect with patients and families through a one-time phone conversation, during which they give the message of help and hope, and provide an overview of existing resources. They follow-up by sending a packet of educational information and resource materials. We are looking forward to working with the team at Penn State Rehabilitation and welcome inquiries about our Ambassador Program from other hospitals or rehab providers!
